FAQs – The Sail

“The standard minimum contract period is 3 months as this is the legal requirement in Singapore at the moment.  However, we cannot force you to stay if you need to leave earlier, for example, if you change your mind about living in Singapore, or if your employment pass is cancelled, or if you lose your job and need to relocate to another country.  We do understand that these things do happen.  In the event that you need to leave earlier, you would need to give us prompt notice of this fact.

Your monthly payments are due every following month 7-days prior to the monthly roll date in your contract (for example if you moved in on February 8, then your next payment is due on March 1st).  If you should vacate the licensed area, fail to make payment on time or breach any provision in the agreement then we reserve the right to immediately cancel the agreement and your license comes to an end.

Your security deposit balance (less any deductions for late payment, damages, etc.) would be returned after 10 working days after you  moved out from the apartment.”
